There are several things to look for in searching for a quality trainer.
1 The most important point to look for is, does the teacher take responsibility for the student learning the art? Many trainers who teach this art feel that most of the responsibility lies with the student to learn and acquire basic skills. We totally disagree with this. Learning this art takes a partnership between student and trainer. It is of course the students€ responsibility to do everything they can to learn. But we find that most of the time a student fails to learn it is because of poor or €cookie cutter€ training. No two students ever learn the same. A good trainer will never try and pass the responsibility for learning on to the student. If the trainer has done his job he will pre-qualify each student to determine if they have the necessary skills and drive to learn PDR. At TopGun we take the responsibility for our students learning this art as long as they meet the basic requirements listed above on this page. Your education and skill development is OUR responsibility! Of course, what you do with those skills is your responsibility. TopGun strongly believes that old saying€ €If a student fails to learn€examine the teacher first, not the student€.
2 Most working techs agree that small personal schools offer much better training than mega schools because of the constant and personal one-on-one involvement with the student. Mega training schools tend to loose their students in the crowd.
3 Most quality schools will select tools from many different manufacturers because no PDR tool company makes all types of PDR tools well. Most quality tool companies specialize in a few types of tools. A good training school will not recommend a set from one manufacturer, and will always wait until you have trained a while before building your tool set that is customized for you.
4 How honest does their advertising appear? Any honest training school will tell you that the PDR market is saturated with techs in most areas of the country. See the Should I Learn PDR page.
5 A good quality school will not keep lowering its price until you sign up. In fact almost any good quality school will stick to their price because they have to in order to provide quality training from a quality instructor who can make good money doing dents.
6 Search PDR forums about the training school you are interested in and see what working techs are saying about them. Probably the best forum for this is at www.doording.com the worlds largest forum for PDR related matters.
7 Ask for references from WORKING techs who have attended the school. Testimonials should have the cities and names of businesses after them so they can be verified and checked out.
8 Look for a school that guarantees they will NOT run a PDR business while training you. To shorten your learning curve as much as possible proper training needs to be constant, and one-on-one.
9Talk to the trainer of the school directly and not a sales person, and ask questions. If you don€t get HONEST and satisfactory answers, or do not click with the trainer, keep looking.
10 The trainers credentials and experience should be clearly posted on the website, and VERIFIABLE! Remember anyone can say anything on the internet. Its your money so check the trainer out thoroughly.
You cant fix what you cant see...accuracy = quality and speed.
